Investigation and Possible Prosecution for Those Who Released List of 1,300

The list of 1,300 people who are allegedly in this country illegally was apparently compiled using data stolen and illegally distributed from Utah state databases. A shadowy group calling itself “Concerned Citizens of the United States” sent the documents to the media and to law enforcement agencies with a demand that the people on the list be immediately deported.

The list included personal information such as birth dates, phone numbers, places of employment, social security numbers, and most shockingly, due dates for pregnant women. The list's accuracy has been called into question as some of the people listed with the demand that they be "immediately deported" have already come forward to explain that they are in the country legally and must be on the list by mistake.

The Salt Lake Tribue reports that it is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in prison to release protected information. The investigation into those responsible for stealing and releasing this information is ongoing. For more information, see the article in the Salt Lake Tribune:
